360Learning At A Glance
Product Overview
360Learning Collaborative Learning Platform is a cloud-based learning management system (LMS) that allows companies to improve employee engagement, increase retention, and upskill from within with collaborative learning.
Collaborative learning lets employees learn as a team by sharing their knowledge and expertise with each other instead of the traditional top-down approach where management controls the training.
Employees can set up course content themselves, while managers can assist them in other areas, such as tracking course performance. Note that 360Learning also supports blended learning, so it can be used to manage classroom-based programs.
In addition to improved employee engagement, the software’s benefits are:
- Quick content creation
- Intuitive user interface
- Integration with third-party software (e.g., HRMS, content management systems)
Features
360Learning has robust features. Here are some of its key ones.
Content creation – Users can quickly create video, text and other content with the authoring tool or by importing material from an integrated content provider. 360Learning’s question bank supports over 10 types of questions, such as multiple choice, true/false and fill-in-the-blank. The software supports files in most formats (e.g., videos, documents, images), and courses also comply with SCORM standards.
Collaborative editing – Unlike traditional LMS software, 360Learning allows subject matter experts to solicit feedback from their colleagues on content prior to publication. With the co-authors feature, users can add or make edits to content. There’s also the internal commenting feature where users can discuss the edits in a private forum.
Collaborative learning – There’s a discussion forum that can be separated by topic. Users can ask questions, add comments, tag groups or individuals in a post and share their reactions with thumb-ups or other emojis.
Learner experience – Similar to social media sites, 360Learning has a algorithm-powered newsfeed that shows more recent or interesting posts first. In addition, the software has gamification features to encourage friendly competition, such as the challenge mode (including the learners challenge to complete courses first with a higher score), leaderboards and achievements.
Mobile app – Learners can access 360Learning’s features via a mobile app. The app allows them to access courses in offline mode and receive push notifications.
Course management – Users can track engagement and performance with various tools, such as a dashboard, reports, a feedback inbox and reaction scores.
Administrative features – 360Learning has custom features so administrators can tailor their portals based on their brand (e.g., logos, colors, messaging). Administrators can assign permissions to specific learners or groups for accessing the software, and they can also segment groups based on role, location or other criteria. Finally, the nested group feature lets them scale their targeted learning experiences by building unlimited layers of groups.

Implementation/Integration
360Learning uses a tried-and-tested implementation process that spans three months and is dedicated to platform architecture, best-in-class digital teaching methods, and engaging and communicating with learners.
During the implementation process, the client’s core team earns digital training certification through the 360Learning Engagement Academy while they create their first learning programs. Regular check-ins with a Customer Success partner ensure the client is ready to measure business impact from day one.
360Learning integrates with third-party software, such as HR solutions (e.g., BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone), content delivery platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, Udemy Business), content creation solutions (e.g., Google Drive, Loom, Genially) and business tools (e.g., Salesforce).
Customer Service & Support
Users can browse articles in the knowledge base, and they can submit a ticket via their portal’s support widget, too. The Business and Enterprise pricing tiers offer email and chat support, as well as a dedicated Customer Success specialist.

360Learning is designed for companies that move quickly and want their people to take ownership of the learning journey. While it’s compatible with SCORM and off-the-shelf content providers, the software is best suited for companies that have a growing, internally-developed course catalog that needs to stay up to date.
360Learning isn’t ideal for companies that want to minimize any learner interaction and collaboration.
